The V6-powered Mustangs have 11.5 inch front rotors, while the GT models have larger 12.4 inch front rotors.

If the calipers are stock the pads seem to be part #1081

A little how to, in case you are doing something wrong:

Bendix can identify brake pads from a photo. Hope that helps you sort this out!

The Australian website only sells Brembo pads for our cars.
I wonder if the app would work?
Besides, shipping from there is expensive.

Bendix number in the US is still #1081

Search by model and year to see them all.

Oh, bummer, sorry about that, I didn't realize bendix was a brand of brakes, I just thought it was the name of the app, and I hoped from a photo it would list part numbers with cross references to other manufacturers.

If I was in OPs shoes I would just use a mechanic the first time and get the part number from them so I could do it myself in the future.
